Sat and watched the sun set below the Alps las night, A very beautiful and surreal experience, very symbolic, It felt like a old chapter was closing and a new one was about to begin,
you never can really get over the stunning view, waking up to Lake Geneva with the alps in the background is an amazing experience

Ibiza the Closing
Well Sadly my time in Ibiza has come to a close, but as a new page turns, so does a new opportunity arise.
my last few days in Ibiya were spent resting due to a chest infection and pretending to pack.
on Sunday the guys took me to Benariss a beach at the North of the Island that on Sunday turns into a giant drum circle, Nomes you would of loved it, there was fire spinning, naked hippies, and swish Bars, A very Ibiza Experience.
then my last night I put on a Aussie bbq for everybody including 50 dollars worth of steak and burgers, Yum!!, it was sad to say goodbye to Ibiza, esp all the friends I made, but it was nice to realise actually how many friends I had made,
the time I spent in Ibiza was amazing, it taught me allot about my self, not just gifts but also flaws, it showed me how great a community can be, and also a area where I think god has given me a calling, I enjoyed every moment and hopefully one day can return.
I am now looking at 6 weeks with Initiatives of change at there summer conference at Caux, http://www.caux.ch/, this deft will be a different style, same sort of crazy pace, but more input then output, I look forward to this next adventure God has put me on!

Watchin God move
Just finsihed my last night on call, and deft was the busiest of all,
we got called out bout 5:30 to assist a girl who was sick, while attending to her, we were called to assist Another girl who had her drink spiked, it was amazing to be able to bless this girl and get her to the Medical center, the 24-7 team is really filling a Gap that is needed in this Island, without our assistantance they would of been in a right state, its amazing to watch God at work, he really is moving after 8 years of pray, and it will be sad to leave, but I hope the future will bring me back here esp when the farm is established or possibly other simalar enviroments.
Il try and catch you up on some proper news, just thought A rant at 8am is a good idea!

Yes i'm still alive
Well its been a monthsince I arrived in Ibiza, and I have to say time has flown by, sorry for lack of posts, but as you all know, me and communication don't go hand in hand.
any how to the stories, I think I left you in may, so lts do some catching up, as best as I can.
but firstly lets hhave some helpful tips when travelling Ibiza
1.Minimal is huge, hah ha is that a oxy moron, sorry thats a genre of music so onlysome will get it
2. There is no such thing as Line, if your Italian start Pushin!, if your Spanish your in first
3.Dancin on Glass is a fav Ibiza past time, so join in throw ya half full glass of beer on the ground and start stomping!
so lets skip ahead a Lil, after the 22nd we had our first team arrive, A group of Irish guys and gals here for two weeks, one thing that happens out here is we have 2 week teams come out and boost the numbers, and do different activities like beach cleaning handing out oranges, pretty much bein kind in other ways,
so it was a week of miscommunication as I learnt my Irish ears, really can't think of much that happened, maybe i should check my diary before I post, but lets skip ahead to the 31st, by this stage it had been raining like I was back in london, so my fustration levels were high, and to add to the, I hadn't been out in a club yet, so my feet where itchy, so only one way to solve it, take the Irish team out clubbing!, we headed to Eden, one of the big clubs right night door to San antonio, which means lots of brits!, but we got our dose of dancing, and arrived home to the roosters singin. TBC

Coachella- The Summary
Too many stories to be told here, so for now I will dedicate a day to each, then possibly expand it as I go along.
Thursday-Day 1
Started like any normal day In Las Vegas, Late and confused, Met up with my crew Alex, Alex, Ben and Izzy!, off we went, a Lil later then planned, Stoping of at Wal mart to buy must needed materials which included:
*Much needed bag of Oranges for vitimans
*Sleeping Bag
*Sleep Mat
*Bag of bread rolls
*Pillow
*Child sized tent
all for 55 dollars! Brilliant!
well we arrived after dark, lined up and after much confusion finnaly got our camp spot!
Setting up was a blast with my headlamp taking charge, and in no time juniour camper was set up and ready to roll, the other tent was a lil more fun, with a crowd gathering and shouts of support and offers of cookies, and our random firend conner adding some helpul advice we finnaly had the mega 6 person tent up! see facebook photos for evidence! after taht it was off to bed in prep for Friday, the first day of fun

Las Vegas (Bat Country)
The trip didn't start so well, with me missing my first flight... well more the flight being overbooked, welcome to American Airlines!, but I finally catched a 2pm flight which meant I arrived at the hostel 5pm tired and sick of travelling, the only Antidote would be a sit down and a cool beverage, on a side note Las Vegas Airpor has slot machines?? very Random, very Vegas
Well My experiances of vegas were deft one geared around losing everything, money and sanity, Highlights would be sitting round hostel jamming and playing Poi, trekking to outlet store for discount clothes, and very amazing Casinos, me thinks this is a place that needs to be experianced with more then one person and deft more then one full day!
Well gotta go its Bat Country
